All About Hogtown!

(Or: Yes, Gainesville really used to be named after pigs)

I figured it's about time I put together a page about the place I live in, namely the city of Gainesville in the state of Florida. Affectionately known as Hogtown to its residents.

I'm going to have links to some Gainesville-related resources but I'm also going to try and present as much "fresh" information as possible. This will be largely text-based at first, but eventually I hope to get out with my camera and get pictures to scan in.

Ideally, this page will someday make a great reference for newcomers to Gainesville for locating those essential needs, figuring out the rules, etc. Most likely, a special page or section will be built soon that will cover the vitals for newly arriving students (how to find a place to live, what laws you should be aware of, how to deal with campus cops, etc).
